Passport

In Ontario, people can apply for developmental services' programs in their community. They can also apply for "Passport" funding. This lets people receive funding each year that they can spend on employment, volunteering, or recreational participation in their community. People can also use the funding for respite.

Transforming Developmental Services in Ontario

As part of the Budget, which was passed on May 8, 2018, the government is investing an additional $1.8 billion over the next three years in developmental services in Ontario. This represents the single largest investment to developmental services in the province’s history.

For the first time in the province’s history, every eligible adult with a developmental disability, including youth turning 18 and transitioning to adult services, will get at least $5,000 a year in direct funding through the Passport Program.
